thinking of getting a range rover as a daily driver. i have read that RR seems to have lots of problem. wanted to see what you all think? it will be my only car and DD car so i really dont want to need to take it to the shop often. will buying a pre-owned one recommended? what problems do you seem to have with your RR and will you consider it as minor or major? thanks for your opinions

 

I have a 2006 HSE and I too was very nervous but the wife really wanted one. I would characterize the problems with it as minor but pretty annoying for a 80k car. Nav not working properly, a piece of carpeting in the back that just peeled off and a sunvisor that snapped off when the salesman was taking me through the walk through. Overall, I was fine given the low quality ratings that I have seen for them.

 

ok so you would not recommend it? what SUV should i get i need it as a DD and take a bit of cargo once in a while

 

I have not had any problems with mine. I am selling a 2006 with 14500 miles in Santa Monica if you are interested for $58500. Pics here:

any reason for selling yours?

 

I am buying a new home and need to free up the cash - If you are in LA you know how expensive it is on the west side. I have a few cars and don't need this one but I have to secure the new home!

 

ok let me work my schedule and let you know when i can come to take a look maybe.. i notice you sold the rims what size does it currently have on? how long does the warranty last until? what dealer did you purchase it from? thank you

 

Sounds good. Yes, I sold the 22" Overfinch wheels to my friend. It has the original 19" OEM wheels/tires (michelin synchrones) and they are as-new since I took them off when the RR had less than 100 miles on them and I just put them on about 2 weeks ago. Warranty is 4 years / 50K miles from May 2006 purchase date when I bought her at Hornburg Land Rover on Sunset Blvd in West Hollywood. Serviced at Hornburg Land Rover in West LA. PM me or email at rio AT riozilla.com if you want to discuss further and arrange time to see her.

 

Rover is a SWEEEEEET ride....my wifes DD....she loves it and wont drive anything else...this means I get the Carrera every day! Its funny people think when you spend more money you are paying for reliability, but you are not, you are paying for technology, materials, build quality, comfort and capabilities. With that said, you cant buy a more comfortable, capable, hi tech, luxury SUV.

 

No, I would recommend it- as long as you don't mind taking the car in a few times for minor stuff. Almost bought the Mercedes GL but the wife didn't like the exterior styling as much.

 

I have a 2007 RR Sport Supercharged. Not a single problem which is a lot more then I can say for my Cayenne Turbo that I traded for the RR. Go figure.

 

For some reason Newport Beach RR has 2 leftover brand new 2006 models. They are giving $15K off MSRP, but would probably come off more.

The differences b/t the 2006 & 2007 are subtle, but I think they tweaked the '07 just enough for me to want it.

 

thanks... i will give them a call and see what deal i can get... and whether it is too good to resist...

 

I'm selling mine as well, at least getting ready to. Will prob post in the next few days. I don't want to highjack this thread but you can PM me if you want details.

 

The car is two years old, in terms of model years - I'd hope they would give that kind of a discount at least.

If you can get a 2006 with zero miles brand new for 60K you should take it!

Mine is still for sale though
